PENNY SAVING HOUSEHOLD HELPERS...
***Marinate inexpensive cuts of meats in a mixture that contains at least one of the following: tomatoes, citrus juice, vinegar, papaya, pineapple, or beer. All contains enzymes that combat toughness. Then slow roast.
***With the cost of high-quality meat a pound of hamburger doesn't go far. Try mixing a few handfuls of crushed cereal or bread crumbs into your hamburger to make it go further. (This makes me think of Chevy Chases' brother-in-law, Eddie, in Las Vegas Vacation)!
***If you are not sure whether an egg is fresh, don't throw it our right away. Instead see how it behaves in a cup of water. If the egg is bad it float...If it's fresh it will sink.
***Do you have molded cheese?? Wrap a few sugar cubes in with your cheese. The sugar will absorb moisture.
***If you burn milk on the stove when heating it on the stove, add a pinch of salt to take away the scorches smell and taste....( I have so many times did this)
****A bay leaf slipped into a container of flour, pasta, or rice will help keep the bugs away.
***Mushrooms can get slimy when stored in a refrigerator, at room temp they seem to spoil or harden overnight. Control their moisture level by storing them in a refrigerator in a brown paper bag, or in paper towels.
***Storing you brown sugar in the freezer will keep it from hardening..
***Turn a tissue box into the perfect dispenser for plastic grocery bags....
***Need ice for a party? Use Empty Styrofoam egg cartons make great ice-cube trays when you need extra ice.
***Next time milk is on sale and you have room in your freezer, buy several gallons. You can freeze milk without affecting its taste or quality for up to 3 months. When your ready to use it, thaw in the refrigerator for 12 hours, and them shake to counteract any separation.
***When crackers, pretzels, or chips have gone stale, revive them by spreading them out in a single layer on a jelly-role pan or cokkie sheet and broiling for a minute. (This sounds like something I want to try!)

PREGO, CRACKERS AND GAS CARD DEAL
You had better print the Target $1/2 Prego coupon now because I suspect it will be pulled quickly. Pair that coupon and the $1/3 MQ from the Share Something Delicious book with the BOGO sale on Prego next week and you will get 6 bottles of sauce for about $2.49 or about $.42 a jar.
While on the Target website I would go ahead and print some of the popular items that go on sale in the month of January before the coupons are pulled. Some of these include $1/2 Kelloggs Special K items, $1/2 Kellogg's cereals, and $1/3 Morningstar Farms. Check to see if there are anymore that suit your families needs.
Also if you still have the B2G1 Nabisco Cracker coupon, you can use that and the $1/1 MQ with the BOGO sale of saltines and pay only $.38 per box.
Also, Tostitos are going to be BOGO next week. Check in your binders for the $1/2 tearpad that was available that expires on 1/8/12.
Also the gas card deal is up again so dig out those rainchecks if you have to!

2012 IS HERE AND BACK TO NORMAL WE GO
After nine days of family and babies in town, I woke up this morning to quiet. No cartoons, no crying, no boundless energy running all over the house. Kind of sad. I will miss feeding the baby his bottle and listening to him "coo" at me. Couponing was put on the back burner and time with family was put first. It seemed like we never stopped.
2012 is here, family gone and our daughter heading back to college tomorrow. It's time to focus again on saving money and finding those deals at the grocery store!
My last trip of the year at the store was a quick trip after work yesterday before we headed to Palm Coast to celebrate New Years with my other daughter and her family. No time for pictures with this trip. I threw it all in the refrigerator and off we went! This is what I bought:
2 Orange Juice
6 Pace Salsa
Green Onions
Blue Cheese Crumbles
3 Yogurt
2 Oscar Mayer Bacon
Bakery Rye Bread
4 Sparkling Grape Juice
4 Solo Cups
2 Wet Ones
2 Emory Board
My total before coupons was $55.50. My total after coupons was $25.00 even. I was excited to get a deal on OJ and add to my stock of salsa and cups. Gosh, when I look at that list, it sure doesn't take long to get to $55!! I am sure glad I didn't have to pay that. In fact, I thought $25 was a little high. I guess when you factor in the bacon, juices and salsa, it's really not that bad.
Time now to clean out the binder and get rid of all the old coupons!
